A bunch of people in pirate costumes just walked by. I’m not used to this. (Sitting outside in the sun right now.) My first “event” of the day begins in about half and hour and I’ll be doing stuff from about noon until about 5 PM or so, at which point I head home. Incidentally,…
There was no traffic heading down here and I made it to the hotel in just under 2 hours. There was no parking in the hotel lot so I parted in the airport “economy” lot just across the street. It’s a little strange–lots of people in costumes of various kinds; I am in jeans and…
I’m heading off to Ravencon! It should take me about 2 hours to get down there. I’m bringing along all 4 issues of ANALOG in which Rob Sawyer’s novel Rollback appeared as a serial. Maybe he can sign those for me. Of course, I’ll also buy the hardcover while I’m there. I’m also taking my…
I decided this evening that I will go to Ravencon 2007 this Saturday. It will be the first science fiction convention I’ve ever attended. Robert J. Sawyer is Guest of Honor and I’d like to meet him. And Edmund Schubert, who bought my story, “When I Kissed the Learned Astronomer”, will be there too and…
I was up pretty early this morning. It was Norm and Vicky who managed to sleep in late–until almost 10 AM! I treated them to breakfast at Friendly’s. We all had a craving for pancakes and I ordered their Lumberjack breakfast, worried that three pancakes would not be enough. It turned out that these pancakes…
I’m heading up to New York this weekend to see Norm and Vicky of vickyandnorm fame, now that they are back from their honeymoon. In a crazy coincidence, they are having their church wedding (convalidation ceremony) on Saturday so I will be there to attend that. This means that in the space of three weeks,…
I met a friend for drinks last night so that I didn’t even head home until 8 PM and didn’t get home until 9 PM. That’s okay though, because I still managed to get into bed by 9:30 so I got a decent night’s sleep. I talked to jen_ashlock yesterday and almost decided to go…
My vacation ended shortly after 5 PM yesterday when I arrived home from the airport. I was up at about 8:30 AM and Lisa and I headed out for a walk around the Boardwalk, enjoying the bright, warm Florida sunshine once more before having to head home. We decided to stop in at Norm and…
Obviously, I’ve been busy and having a great time because I really haven’t had a chance to post in several days. I’m going to work on back-posting all about my adventure at Disney World and Norm and Vicky’s wedding this evening. Those of you who read my blog on your friends page may not see…
I left for the airport at about noon for my 2:45 PM flight to Orlando. I had to make a stop at the post office in order to mail away my tax papers to my new tax person. Once that was done I was on the road and it didn’t take me long to get…
I’m heading out the door in less than an hour for my one and only mini-vacation between now and July and I am so excited! I nearly screamed a big loud, “Whoo-hoo!” as I left the office this morning. At this point, I’m all packed up. The house is in order. The chores are done.…
Things that I need to get done before I head off to the airport. (Incidentally, since it’s a Wednesday and I don’t anticipate much traffic, I am experimenting with arriving at the airport so as I get to the gate with 30 minutes or less to wait before boarding the plane. I have this down…
